Samsung Electronics today introduced a new line-up of NFCenabled printers at CeBIT 2014, the color laser printer Xpress C1860 series and the mono-laser printer Xpress M2885 series. These printers are targeted at home offices and Small- and Medium-sized Business (SMBs) that require high volume printing and increased compatibility with a broad range of IT devices. Both series are compatible with Samsung Cloud Print™, which will be available in the U.S. and Europe this year. “We are proud to have built on our 2013 NFC-enabled printers with these faster and more advanced models designed specifically for SMB customers,” said Sung-won Song, Senior Vice President of Strategy Marketing and Sales, Printing Solutions Business, Samsung Electronics. “As mobile becomes more central to the everyday working environment these NFC-enabled printers let SMBs conduct their business seamlessly as well as catering for the growing Bring Your Own Device trend.” Faster Output and Stronger Specifications for the Evolving Office Environment The Xpress C1860 series comprises of the C1810W color laser printer and Multifunction Printers (MFPs) C1860FW which offers print, copy, scan, and fax functionality. The Xpress M2885 series consists of the M2835DW mono laser printer and MFPs M2885FW which also offers print, copy, scan, and fax capabilities. These printers enable easy and convenient mobile printing for SMB users with outstanding print speeds: 28 pages per minute (based on A4 size) from the mono laser printers and 18 pages per minute (based on A4 size) from the color laser printers. The Xpress C1860 has a dual CPU (533MHz main processor and 150MHz sub-processor) and a memory size of 256MB (upgradeable to 512MB), while the Xpress M2885 has a 600MHz processor and 128MB memory. The Xpress M2885/C1860 series produces professional quality output with sharp texts and clean images through Samsung’s unique image enhancement technology and Rendering Engine for Clean Page (ReCP). Besides the Xpress C1860 series produces vivid and glossy colors through the use of polymerized toner, which comprises finer and more even particles.

Easy Print Management’ Available on Mobile Devices Samsung has added the ‘Easy Print Management’ function for mobile devices, something which used to be only on PCs. Coupled with the NFC function and the Samsung Mobile Print app, SMB customers without an IT department can now easily monitor device information, status, and usage of consumables. To help customers with any support they may need, the Samsung Mobile Print app features a series of video clips that allow users to detect and solve errors on the spot without having to wait for customer support.

More Convenient Mobile Printing Since the introduction of the world’s first NFC-enabled printers in 2013 with the Xpress C410W series, Samsung has continued to strive to provide the most convenient mobile printing experience possible. Both of Samsung’s new printer series feature NFC and Wi-Fi Direct technologies that allow users to easily and securely print documents, images, and even social media feeds by simply tapping their smartphones on the printer. Users can even send scanned documents directly from the MFPs to their smartphones without having to send files via email or PC. The ‘C1860/M2885’ series will be introduced in April starting in Europe, and the Samsung Mobile Print app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
